The Communications Room at Gravesend Cold War Bunker
The Cold War bunker was originally known as Civil Defence Region 6. It was designed to be a command post from which Gravesend’s rescue and emergency services were to be coordinated in the event of a nuclear attack. Today the bunker has been refurbished to look as it would have in the 1950s.
